Document requirements differ by route, so check what you'll need well before departure. Travelling from Motril to Al Hoceima generally calls for a valid passport, plus any visa or national ID your nationality requires. Since rules depend on both your citizenship and your destination's regulations, our Check-in, Travel Documents & Tickets guide is a good place to check the details and avoid delays at check-in.
Getting your tickets is simple — enter your departure port, arrival port, and preferred travel date to see every fare and sailing available. From there, you can compare alternative routes and departure times to land on the best option for your trip.
Watch for early-bird pricing and flexible ticket formats, such as upgrades or flexi-fares that allow later changes or cancellations. Enter your details accurately, including passenger count and vehicle information, to keep your booking process smooth.
A confirmation email lands in your inbox the moment your booking is finalised. How your boarding pass gets issued from there depends on the specific ferry operator.
Certain operators release your boarding pass right after booking; others want you to check in once you reach the port. Where available, the Direct Ferries app lets you check in online ahead of time.
Ticket desks sit near the ferry terminal in most cases. Give yourself extra time before departure to collect your tickets and complete check-in without stress.
You'll need to present your confirmation email plus valid photo ID — a passport or identity card — at check-in. Pet owners should bring vaccination and insurance paperwork, and anyone using a resident discount should have proof of address on hand.
A handful of reasons can explain the lack of departures from Motril to Al Hoceima on your selected date — timetable adjustments, sold-out sailings, or a seasonal gap are the usual culprits. Try a different date or browse other routes through our Route & Port finder.

Al Hoceima is a city on Morocco that lies on the edge of the Rif Mountains, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The city is often regarded as one of the most picturesque cities in Morocco and the backdrop of the Rif Mountains and the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea certainly help reinforce that label. The city is also called Biya by the locals and was colonised by the Spanish for more than three decades, when it was called Villa Sanjuro, and the Spanish influences in the city are still visible despite the many new buildings that have been built. In fact, when entering the city some may think that it is a very modern city with its new buildings and hotels. Many of the city's residents speak Spanish as their second of third language but most of the population are Berbers from the Bucoya tribe who speak Tamazight which is a Berber dialect.
Fishing boast and ferries are catered for in the city's port and both are important to the city's tourism. Tourists and visitors are able to hire the services of a local boat for trips and fishing.
